I experienced a great learning around facing difficult times…It is about ensuring that the things we wrestle with, cause us pain and even conflict are kept at a distance from the things we hold out hope for.
In short it looks like this….Keep your sense of hope outside the situation you are in. When we are able to place hope outside of our circumstances, it means we are able to distinguish our hope from the things that we could get lost in. The reality of course if we get lost in something and take our hope with us we can unfortunately lose our hope also.
Therefore, If you find yourself in a landslide this week, keep your sense of hope outside the situation you are in.
Cheers Andrew
